Towards
the end of November 1715, the remaining defenders were running out of
ammunition and food. They were trying to exist on boiled leaves and the bark
of trees, and were gradually reduced to mere skeletons. Then on 17th
December, 1715, Abdus Samad shouted across the separating moat, that he
would not allow any killing by his men, if Banda opened the gate to the
fortress. When
Banda ordered the gate be opened, the Mughals rushed in to spear or stab as
many as three hundred of the half-dead and helpless defenders. About 200
were captured alive and handcuffed in twos. Banda
Singh had chains round his ankles and his wrists, and was then locked in an
iron cage. The Mughals were still afraid that he might escape and so they
placed a guard on each side of the cage with swords drawn and the cage was
placed aloft an elephant, which led the procession, which paraded through
Lahore, before proceeding towards Delhi.
